Right, it seems that the armament matches the Privateer one quite well.

[Scooby_Doo]

Great ship. It doesn't seem to be much better armed than Lynx though. Will it have internal missile bays?

Yup, if you look at the underbelly shot, you'll see a rectangular area, thats the bay door. I just have to double check to make sure it's long enough for missiles.

[Dragon]

Since you don't animate such parts, they're only really suitable for hardpoints (the texture enforces this, not really looking like doors).
I was thinking more along the lines of bays on Javelin.

[Scooby_Doo]

You mean like opening doors before launching missiles?  While I like the idea, just not really practical considering how fast things are moving around.

Also
Armada's Banshee (not the WC4 one)

Looks great, how's the Stiletto going?
BTW, are you also going to do Phantom, Wraith and Belleau Wood ( http://www.wcnews.com/ships/armconfedtransport.shtml ) from Armada?
That'd get us a complete set of it's craft on the Confed side.

Banshee's done, Phantom is closing in, just a few ships before.  I haven't done anything with the Wraith yet and the Belleau is in Saga ( )

[Dragon]

That's good to hear. 

[Scooby_Doo]

Ugh somewheres I resized the capship tile size.  I think starting with the Lancer

[Dragon]

Not only the tile size, coloring also changed. It looked like you decided to suddenly change styles. Also, I've pointed it out to you multiple times. 

[Scooby_Doo]

The coloring on the cap ships haven't changed, just the tile size (also I dropped the "rivets" from the cap texture, they ended up being more problematic than good)  The caps and fighters are a different shades of blue, some of the differences is from the base hull texture is different, caps have that tile. 

Also the easiest way to fix the capships is just to downsize the tile texture.  A lot easier than re-uvmapping everything UGH

Edit: Fixing this won't be a major problem.  Resize the tiling down 50% is about right and I've got a nice script that does everything.  Unfortunately my computer is so bloody slow 

[Scooby_Doo]

There I've fixed the capship tiling issue.  I think the Midgard is slightly larger, but unless you stuff them next to another ship you won't notice.  And the Hermes is so small it needs it's own tiling size.
Offnote, doubling the tiling has made capship textures look more detailed.

[Deathsnake]

I've got from Starman his Durango, Tarawa and the Banshee, Vindicator and Avenger in COB Files. Can you use it and texture it?

This models:

Compare these two:


The colored area on the Liberty is much darker than on the Formidable. That's what I'm talking about. And it's not lighting, take a look at the textures.

[Woolie Wool]

The new darker blue areas are a dramatic improvement.

[Dragon]

Indeed. That's why I'd prefer the old caps to be updated.

[MetalDestroyer]

Do you plan to release those ships into a vp files that replace all ship from Wing Commander SAGA: The Darkest Dawn ? So we could have cockpit and better cruiser/carrier/destroyer whatever.

[Scooby_Doo]

Oh crude I found where the problem is.  It's not the color of the blue nor the transparency, but rather I moved the layers location around.     I think I'll use the Liberty's darker blue, as it looks better and would require less models to fix. 

[Scooby_Doo]

Alright I've finished fixes that problem.  Only the shine and diffuse maps needed to be updated (normal maps and some of the regular maps that didn't use the black/blue painting weren't effected)

The fix effects the following models:
Ajax
Athena
Aurora
Clysdale
Diemos
Enterprise
Essex
Formidable
Gallileo
Gilgamesh
Hermes
Hunter

From the Jutland on it seems I changed the layer layout.  Hopefully that's all of them

This started as one of Lar's designs.  It's a frigate with a full hanger bay.

[Dragon]

Wow, a mini-carrier. Looks very interesting, great design.
